How to make your most after your move to Goa?
12/11/20252 min read
Your move to Goa, will go through three phases typically.
Phase 1, you will love it. You will like the slower pace of life, having more time at hand. No traffic, not many people walking on the streets, limited hawkers, all this will give you a sense of calm you were looking for. This will probably last for about 3-6 months.


Then will come phase 2, where you will start missing the city, you will start missing the quick service you were used to, the cabs, rickshaws, fast food, the buzz generally of the city as the loneliness will start feeling quite prominent. You will start discovering who you truly are and depending upon what you find within, you might start building regrets or feel like you are wasting your life facing this real you. This phase will typically last about 6-24 months.
Then comes phase 3, but mind you there will be people who will probably have already left Goa after the phase 2 because they are not comfortable facing the person they find amongst this slowness of life, which is their true self. However, if you’ve made it past phase 2, you’ve almost got to heaven. You will suddenly feel much more confident, much more empowered. You’d start caring way less about petty things, competition, about success, about money, and really start caring about things that matter, your mind, your body, your soul.


People who start enjoying this phase 3, will reconnect with their hobbies, learn music that they always wanted to learn, or truly practice yoga, or learn pottery. They will start eating out less, they will start staying home more, they will develop select but deep friendships, they will become more assertive and all this you will start believing was the real you that was lost in the city


Overall, we feel you should not be scared and take this move with full force, and let yourself go, not hesitate with the discoveries you make and let the real you be found!
